Table 2

(a) Age as the control variable. (b) Disease duration as the control variable.

(a)

Control variables			cTfh cell frequency	PASI score	Age
-None-	cTfh cell frequency	Correlation	1.000	.410	−.152
		Significance (2-tailed)	.	.020	.406
		df	0	30	30
	PASI score	Correlation	.410	1.000	.131

	Age	Correlation	−.152	.131	1.000
		Significance (2-tailed)	.406	.474	.
		df	30	30	0
Age	cTfh cell frequency	Correlation	1.000	.439
		Significance (2-tailed)	.	.014
		df	0	29
	PASI score	Correlation	.439	1.000
		Significance (2-tailed)	.014	.

Cells contain zero-order (Pearson) correlations.
 “.” means there is no correlation between cTfh cell frequency and cTfh cell frequency, PASI score and PASI score, and disease duration and disease duration. All the results are created by SPSS software.
